Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • Cream Cheese (8 oz, softened)
  • Powdered Sugar (1 cup)
  • Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon)

Coating and Decorations

  • White Chocolate Chips (12 oz)
  • Mini Chocolate Chips (for eyes and buttons)
  • Orange Candy or Sprinkles (for noses)
  • Colored Sprinkles or Icing (for scarves, hats, or other decorations)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Truffle Mixture: Start by combining softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain. This will be the base that shapes into your snowman bodies.
  2. Shape the Snowmen: Take small portions of the mixture and roll into three differently sized balls to form the traditional snowman shape – a large base, a medium middle, and a small head. Place them on parchment paper and chill for about 15 minutes, allowing them to firm up.
  3. Melt the White Chocolate: While the truffles chill, gently melt your white chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  4. Dip and Decorate: Dip each snowman-shaped truffle into the melted white chocolate to coat fully. Set them back on parchment paper and quickly add mini chocolate chips for eyes and buttons, plus an orange candy nose before the chocolate sets. Use colored sprinkles or icing to create scarves or hats for a personal touch.
  5. Let Them Set: Transfer the decorated truffles to the refrigerator to let the coating harden completely, about 30 minutes. Once set, your No-Bake Snowman Truffles are ready to enjoy!

Notes

  • Chill the mixture before rolling to prevent sticky hands and make shaping easier.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking after dipping and during setting.
  • Work quickly when decorating dipped truffles to add features before the coating hardens.
  • Ensure melted chocolate is at room temperature and not too hot to avoid melting the shapes.
  • Use tweezers or toothpicks to place decorations neatly and precisely.
